GHFC is unique in that the children and adults are cared for in one structure, have one entrance to the building where both generations enter and exit, and intergenerational activities are a daily component of our program. There are structured times for interaction between the generations as well as many times that the interaction is spontaneous and need-based. Programs from the USA, Spain and universities have visited the Center for its quality and unique model.

Each week, our preschool and school age children and aging adults come together at Neighborhood House to share laughter, stories, and experiences that bridge generations. These intergenerational moments are at the heart of what makes our programs so special—nurturing curiosity in children, purpose in adults, and meaningful connections that strengthen the mind, body, and heart for everyone involved.
